First off, I had to laugh when reading these specifications. Leave it to the retards at Sony to write such asinine specs.
For instance, they actually pointed out in the 8th line that what you are looking at is a "speaker system". Wow. I wouldn't have guessed. And people wonder why I urge them to stay away from Sony.
But on a more serious note, there are litterally hundreds, if not thousands of amplifiers that will power these speakers perfectly fine. Since you're not dealing with high end speakers, you don't need to worry are a high end amplifier that produces awesome sound since the sound will obviously be limited by the capabilities of the speakers themselves.
The two most important aspects of the speakers you want to take into consideration is the wattage and the impedance. The impedance in this case is 8 ohms, which means that almost any home audio receiver will be compatible. The max power output is 120 watts, so I would get a receiver that is rated to at least 100 to 110 watts per channel.
